Nora Roberts Marks Second Gift In A Year To College

WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) -- Romance novelist Nora Roberts has given a second $100,000 grant to McDaniel College in Westminster in less than a year.

The college said Tuesday the grant will support its minor in romance fiction and an online creative writing course on the subject. The Daily Record of Baltimore reports that the American romance collection in the Hoover Library will also benefit.

Last May, Roberts, who lives in Keedysville and has written more than 200 novels, gave McDaniel $100,000.
